nilfs2: fix potential kernel bug due to lack of writeback flag waiting
Destructive writes to a block device on which nilfs2 is mounted can cause
a kernel bug in the folio/page writeback start routine or writeback end
routine (__folio_start_writeback in the log below):
kernel BUG at mm/page-writeback.c:3070!

This is because when the log writer starts a writeback for segment summary
blocks or a super root block that use the backing device's page cache, it
does not wait for the ongoing folio/page writeback, resulting in an
inconsistent writeback state.
Fix this issue by waiting for ongoing writebacks when putting
folios/pages on the backing device into writeback state.
